Sorry this one has taken a while as well I really struggled writing it! Also I am back to school now so each chapter will probably take much longer because I get a lot of Homework, but I will write when I get the chance! :)

Jess could barely remember what happened. One minute she had been sitting on the steps with Becker and now she was desperately clinging onto him as a creature pulled at her leg.

She had turned when she thought she heard her phone ringing and it leap at her. The steps were now further covered with water and slippery, she couldn't get away in time. It all happened so fast. She had only just managed to scream for Becker before it dragged her into the water.

She glanced back, it was still dug deep into her ankle, its head flicked up and she looked straight into its evil beady eyes. She turned to Becker her eyes wide with fear.

'Jess I promise I'm not going to let you go!' Becker stared back but his palms were sweaty and she was slipping. He didn't know what to do he couldn't keep pulling, the creatures teeth were digging deeper, he could see the pain in her face.

'Try and kick it, I can't keep pulling you!' He looked at her desperately; there was nothing else he could think of to do.

She thrashed her free leg but she had fallen on her front and she couldn't see what she was doing, the creature could easily dodge her.

Becker realised the only way to free her would be to distract it and make it loosen its grip, but it was just him and if he let go she would be ripped to shreds before he got to her.

He turned round looking desperately for something he could use he saw his EMD laying discarded on the ground. Again he couldn't shoot it because the charge would travel through jess as well, but maybe he could shoot something else, make it jump and let go.

He could probably reach it 'Jess, I'm just going to let go of one hand and get my EMD hold tight ok'

She shook her head 'No, Becker don't-' but she was cut off. It was an instant mistake.

As he let go the creature felt some give and with one almighty tug Jess's hand was ripped from his. The last he heard was a scream of pure terror before she was dragged completely under the ice cold water.

She tried to free herself thrashing in the water but her head was bashed against the bottom step and it all when black.

Completely in shock Becker grabbed his EMD and ran into the water. He spun round running his hand through his hair a horrified realisation spreading across his face at the thought of losing her forever.

'Jess!' he called her name but there was no reply 'Jess!' he tried again desperation creeping into his voice still nothing, the third time barely a whisper came out as he voice began to break up.

He shouted in frustration and gripped his head with his hands, all his feelings were jumbled he had lost his friend and yet he felt like she meant something more. And his anger with himself for letting her slip away just like that.

He sat back on the steps as despair came over him he would do anything for it to be him in her place, this was his fault if only he had held on with both his hands.

A loud splashing filled his ears it came from one of the far corner tables. His head turned sharply and he caught a glimpse of an orange head band. She was still alive!

There was still a chance, he knew he had to rescue her, if he didn't he would never forgive himself; he had seen too many people die. Jess was not going to be one of them.

He ran as fast as he could to the table, the water now well above his knee.

'I got no answer' Abby briskly walked over to Matt 'you?'

'Neither' He shook his head

'Um guys, I think you should see this' Connor gestured to Matt and Abby, he had managed to get into one of the camera's, it didn't, look good.

'It's a really patchy feed, but I can't see Jess anywhere it's just Becker.' Connor stared hard at the screen but he still couldn't find her.

' I'm gonna try Becker again, keep looking' Matt picked up his phone once more and dialled the number.

'Check the heat sensor' Abby desperately looked round the screen.

A few clicks and the screen split with the heat sensor on the left and the CCTV camera on the right.

'Look' Emily pointed at the screen. There were two blobs on the screen one was obviously Becker and the other Jess but her heat reading was much lower than it should have been.

'Why is she so cold' Connor stared at the screen once more.

'You don't think?' Emily looked at Abby her face full of concern.

'No, no she is not dead.' Abby looked at Connor her eyes begging him to tell her she was right

Connor didn't know what to say, he had no idea what was happening all he had was a heat sensor.

'What temperature water do those things live in?' Emily asked

'Manly in the Atlantic, and near the sea bed, the light doesn't really get down there so assuming that's where the anomaly opened the water's gonna be pretty cold'

Abby ran her fingers through her hair 'She must be in the water, but why hasn't she got out?'

'Maybe she can't' Said Emily

She didn't know what to do Jess was getting colder and colder by the second, they had to get in there.

'Connor' Matt called after receiving no answer from Becker once again 'the only think blocking them is the grating right?'

'Yeah and maybe a couple of doors' He looked at Matt wondering what he was on to.

'Right but you can still open them?' Matt quickly replied.

Connor shrugged 'probably but I can't do it from here, if I was at the actual lock then maybe'

'Right then pack up your laptop, were going in' Matt grinned, heading to the truck to grab his EMD.

He wasn't going to let them die, these were his team mates he would do anything to make sure they were safe, and they would do the same for him.

Becker hesitated for a few seconds as he took in the sight under the table, he could barely see Jess just a blur of red dress as the water rippled over her. The creature was a few metres away but not on its own, there were two of them, heads raised and hissing, fighting over who got to eat Jess Becker presumed.

Slowly he reached down and slipped his hands under her arms pulling her from the water. Freezing cold she lay limp in his arms.

'Jess?' Becker whispered but there was no reply. He continued to pull her from under their thrashing tails, but her foot brushed past one; obviously sensitive to feeling it turned hissing angrily as did the other one when it saw what was happening.

Becker scooped Jess into his arms and ran towards the steps, instantly followed by the two frilled Sharks.

He dashed up the steps, the creatures narrowly missing his feet, he stepped back catching his breath as the creatures launched themselves at him, mouths wide open, but there slippery bodies were not made for land and they sank back into the water.

Gently Becker lay Jess down on the floor; lifeless and pale. He stared at her; damp hair fell in spirals around her shoulders. A bead of water ran across her rosy pink lips. 'Come on Jess' He whispered as he wiped away a small smudge of make-up from her cheek.

He checked for a pulse.

It was faint but it was there, it gave Becker hope he linked his fingers together and began to push up and down on her chest, willing her to breathe.

He performed CPR for a few minutes, his bottom lip trembling with frustration as there was no response. A small cough made him jump back 'Jess?!'

She spluttered and spat out water to the side of her before sitting up and putting her hand on the back of her head as the pain began to kick in. She winched and looked down at her blooded ankle.

She smiled sweetly at Becker and he grinned back 'You ok?'

'Yeah' she replied trembling as the chill spread down her back.

Becker removed his Jacket and gently wrapped it round Jess.

She pulled it tightly still shivering 'Thanks'

'Oh no' She sighed.

'What, what is it?' Becker looked at her slightly worried.

'I lost one of my shoes! They were one of my favourite pairs!' She grinned

Becker chuckled 'Come on, I'm taking you to the medical bay'

She gripped his hand tightly and he pulled her up.

'Ah!' She winched as the pain shot through her foot.

Becker put his arm round her supporting her but there was no way she could walk, it was too painful.

He smiled and scooped her up once more, gently resting her bad leg under the other so it didn't move to much as he walked.

'You ok' he asked.

She beamed up at him 'Yeah'

Jess turned, biting down on her lip, she had already been carried by Becker once before, during the beetle infestation but semi conscious. This time she was fully awake, her heart pumping with the excitement. She turned and stifled at giggle calm Jessica she thought to herself, she was acting like an over excited teenager!

Becker carried Jess to the upstairs medical room deciding they would have more time before the water reached up there.

He had carried Jess before in the beetle incursion, yet it was somehow different with her conscious and the way she kept staring up at him, a huge grin on her face. He realised he had never felt like this before, the way he reacted when he thought he had lost her forever. There was definitely something about her that was different, something really special.
